Author: Dr. J. S. Monsell, 1811-1875 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #264 (1917) Lyrics: 1 O love, divine and tender!
That through our homes doth move,
Veiled in the softened splendor
Of holy, household love;
A throne, without thy blessing,
Were labour without rest,
And cottages, possessing
Thy blessedness, are blest.
2 God bless these hands united,
God bless these hearts made one;
Unsevered and unblighted
May they through life go on;
Here, in earth's home preparing
For the bright home above,
And there, for ever sharing
Its joy, where "God is love." Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Ordinances; Marriage Languages: English Tune Title: JESU, MAGISTER BONE
O love, divine and tender!
